The Wikimedia Conference is always an important moment in the life of Wikimedia affiliates: it's a great opportunity for reporting, networking and also advocacy. We participated this year (as always) to make the voice of Wikisource communities heard, and we are proud to admit that we are developing very good relations with the WMF and other chapters. We had very fruitful discussions with the Community Tech team, for example, and on Phabricator (list below) you can see there are a few issues that have been worked on.

This was the first French Wikisource meetup ever, with contributors from all over the world. There was 16 wikisourcerers including 5 people from Canada. A lot of knowledge and how-to has been exchanged, some projects and ideas emerged during this convention (among others: a demonstration to a Basque constributor for relaunching the Wikisource in Basque).

The two main projects worked on were: adding DjVu-generation to IA Upload (#73 on this year's wishlist); and building a gadget for using Google OCR for languages not supported by existing OCR tools (#25 on last year's wishlist). We managed to complete this to projects with the help of the Community Tech team for the Google OCR.

We also did some work on adapting the VisualEditor to work with the ProofreadPage extension. It have been deployed on the Page: namespace that is heavily customized by this extension.
